    LR3 Transmission service - for those that hired a shop

    What was your cost? (in the USA) I estimate the parts (Atlantic British kit and solenoids, etc) will run me $600 ish, but want to get a ballpark on labor/time. I know I can call my guys up instead and ask them specifics, but want to get at least a little input from you guys. I could knock it out...

    LR3 water ingress / aftermath (dead radio)

    In the last 1-2 years I've had both my sunroof and front windshield replaced. After some serious rainstorms, I was greeted by a lot of water mostly in the passenger front footwell, and some of the center cubbies. I believe the main cause is the shoddy work the glass shop did when replacing the...

    LR3 transmission slips - service worth it?

    My transmission has been slowly slipping more and more and I think it's time to do something. I've gotten a few transmission fault codes thrown at different intervals, and at first it was just a minor issue and talking to my shop we decided to kick the can down the street for a while. This is at...

    LR3 dog stuff

    So with a kid incoming, our dog is most likely going to move to the back of the bus/cargo area (we don't have 3rd row seats). I don't think we'll need one of those cage/barrier things because she's pretty well behaved/trained. My main concern is the fur/carpet lining on the inside of lower...

    LR3 to 3rd gen 4Runner: lateral move or upgrade/downgrade

    Idle hands, devil's workshop. Right now I'm on the 4th year of LR3 ownership (SE V6). I've been pretty happy with it, and have no big complaints other than the higher than average maintenance costs and so-so fuel economy, otherwise it's been reliable and has had no serious deal-breaker issues...

    What would you replace your LR3/4 with ?

    Hypothetical: say you're moving away from your LR specialist mechanic/dealer/whatever, and getting service/repairs in a less developed area on a Rover, while not impossible, would be a little more challenging. Ever replace a Rover with something simpler, and maybe not as cushy, but as...

    LR3 keyfob / remote disintegration

    Anybody's keyfob doing this? This one is the most far gone, my spare is not too far behind. Are these replacement shells on eBay the best route? I can supposedly get a generic replacement at Ace Hardware but I haven't looked into it.

    LR3 headlight degradation

    I'm sure that I'm not the only one here with yellowed, hazy, crusty headlights? One of mine even has some nice condensation buildup. Man, I wish LR went with glass on these instead of plastic. I'm either going to buy less nasty replacements on eBay, or do the buff/polish thing. Buying whole...

    Drove an Isuzu D-MAX

    Was in C. America on vacation and rented a 2016 D-MAX for a few days.....5 speed manual, 2.5L Diesel, 4WD crew cab. I think these use a GM platform, Chevy Colorado right? Drove on crappy pavement all the way to really rough dirt/gravel roads, no crawling or anything too extreme. Drove...

    Monty's and other exp. vehicles of Iceland

    I just spent 2 weeks in Iceland. Amongst all the nature shots I took I managed to snap a few exp. vehicle photos....couldn't capture them all, there were so many different and cool rigs in that country, these were just the tip of the iceberg (which I saw as well har har)...

    At a crossroads - looking for input

    As I delve deeper into the deferred maintenance of my Gen 2.5, I'm on the fence about dumping more $$$ into it, or just getting out now. What I'm looking at right now: Valve seals job + anything else in there while its opened up (it's consuming oil pretty rapidly) 4WD general service...

    2000 Montero, replaced trans fluid - hard shifts - wrong ATF fluid?

    I had my auto trans fluid replaced a few weeks ago (it was brown) and whereas the car shifted alright and smoothly before, after the fluid flush/replacement, the shifts seem a lot more harsh/pronounced, especially in the low gears (1-2, 2-3 maybe) and going into reverse. Happens even if the car...

    Is your fuel tank half empty or half full?

    So after getting some of the small issues figured out on my new to me 2.5 (2000 Endeavor), the first sorta major one has come up. I went to give it its first (i.e. full tank) fill up. When I got it last week it had about 1/4 of a tank as indicated, so now the fuel gauge was on empty (low fuel...

    Gen 2.5 part identification?

    What's this lower grille part called? Is it part of the skid plate or just a lower intake? Bonus points if you have an actual part number! :Wow1:
